Verse 1:
              Bb           C        F
Let there be light where there was darkness,
              Bb          C        Dm
Let there be love where there was hate,
             A              Dm
Even in the terrors of the night,
          Bb      C         F
Sooner or later, comes the day.

Verse 2:
              Bb         C        F
Let there be joy where there was sorrow,
              Bb          C        Dm
Let there be hope where there was none,
                  A                  Dm
And even as your life-blood flowed away,
            Bb       C      F
Neda, your heart is living on.

Chorus:
               F          Bb       F
People of the world stand up for freedom,
        Dm          Bb       C
Voices call from a distant shore,
         Dm        C          Bb       F
For the winds of change are blowing stronger,
    Dm             C
And Evil men will fall,
      Dm              C       F     Bb F
For freedom will not wait anymore.

Verse 3:
                Bb          C        F
Let there be Spring where there was Winter,
               Bb          C         Dm
Let there be green where there was grey,
             A              Dm
Even as the Lion seems to sleep,
           Bb     C       F
Sooner or later, he will wake.

Chorus:
               F          Bb       F
People of the world stand up for freedom,
        Dm          Bb       C
Voices call from a distant shore,
         Dm        C          Bb       F
For the winds of change are blowing stronger,
    Dm             C
And Evil men will fall,
      Dm              C            F     
For freedom will not wait here anymore.

Chorus:
              F          Bb        F          
Women of the world have died for freedom,
           Dm          Bb       C
Hear them call from a distant shore,
         Dm        C          Bb       F
For the winds of change are blowing stronger,
    Dm             C
And Evil men must fall,
      Dm              C            F
For freedom will not wait here anymore.

For freedom will not wait here anymore.
 C             G
